"I was given a very warm welcome which I appreciated. Parking was easy, in fact I parked right outside the hotel. The staff were all very friendly and very efficient in a nice way. I had booked a table for dinner in their delightful restaurant. The food was really lovely and very nicely presented and served. The staff were lovely and made me feel at ease as I was on my own. It was the same at breakfast."

It is in a quiet setting, rural Dorset is all around, coast about 45mins. There are great eating places in the vicinity & Paul has good recommendations. He is a very good host, booking our first night's table. Loved the rustic charm of the pubs. The Quiet Woman is a real find.

The coastal town has really upgraded it restaurants and its quaint streets make a delightful place to visit. It is central for Dorset visits and close to Devon. Abbotsbury
and West Bay ( Broadchurch filming) are musts to visit.
Eat at the French Lieutenant and both Italian restaurants as they are reasonably priced but above average food.

An old Dorset market town which has sensibly resisted the egregious efforts of developers. There are some good restaurants and some lovely old buildings.but not much entertainment if you aren't visiting friends. The Green Man was my pub of choice.

Cracking place to go off season.
Cracking place to go off season. A bit too busy for me in mid summer. Well placed for nearby visits to nearby Wimborne Minster, The Purbeck Hills and Corfu Catle, Badbury Rings and Kingston Lacey House, a trip across the chain ferry at Sandbanks to the best beach in Dorset at Studland, (It is a naturist beach further down but your on holiday so when in Rome......). Portsmouth (HMS Victory and the Mary R) are a day trip away.The New Forest, Bovington Tank Museum, Monkey World.
The list is only limited by the type of holiday you want. Bournemouth as a holiday centre allows access to it all.

Loved the beautiful architecture in the town, the range of shops, ease of access, central location for the Badger Brewery and Royal Signals Museum. Stayed here after walking the Lawrence Trail and visiting Bovington Tank Museum - the Crown Hotel was the perfect end to a perfect day. I'd now stay here and commute to any attraction in Dorset and the surrounding counties. The only negative thing was a couple of guys whose fight spilled out of a pub and into the street - but you can get that anywhere, and the Police appeared and dealt with the matter so quickly it was almost a blink and miss it incident. Would definitely recommend the food at The Crown Hotel and will look forward to going back and exploring Blandford further.

Bridport is central to some great accesses to the coast, beaches and towns in Dorset. One of our favourite places is Westbay with its long beach in front of the cliffs ideal for walking your dogs. Westbay has plenty of cafes to enjoy cups of tea, the fish and chip shop opposite the Caravan park is a real joy. The Hunters Lodge out on the A35, about 15/20 minutes away from Bridport is worth a visit. Also the Hive café on Hive Beach is also good if you fancy seafood dishes.

Weymouth is a place where anyone of any age could have a wonderful holiday. There is an excellent bus service running along the front and also to places of interest in Dorset. The promenade is flat allongside the clean, safe beach. The bay is very shallow so the sea is safe for children. There are lovely restaurants, a great shopping area and harbour. You will find !it's to do to suit all ages
If you want to stay in a tiny Dorset village this is an excellent location not only for Corfe Castle (village and castle) but for Dorset generally. When I saw how congested the centre of Dorchester was (an alternative I had considered) I am very glad I did not book there. Food was good, especially for dinner. Service friendly. For a small place in a small village with small roads, car parking was adequate which means quite good relative to many other locations in small English villages.
Received a warm welcome at a working farm in the middle of blissful Hardy-esque countryside. Comfortable, nicely furnished room (not totally self-contained hence slightly lower mark) with access to microwave, tea/coffee etc a few steps away. Did not have time for breakfast but it was offered at an earlier time if I wanted it. In fact, everything was done to ensure I would have a good stay. And I did! Oh - and it is a perfect stopping off point for exploring this part of Dorset.
Beautiful old hotel, very well kept up. The staff were charming and helpful, including toward our dog! Great to be able to have the dog in the room with us (and it was so clean you certainly couldn't tell other dogs had been there). Sat in the beautiful garden for drinks. The pub in the hotel did a great dinner. Full breakfast included. Had a nice walk around the town and river. Great place to stay near Dorset coast. We will definitely go back!
On a recent tour of Southern England our stay at the New Inn was a last minute decision ... it ended up being the best stay of our trip. The room was lovely, in a modern attachment to the old inn which overlooked the Dorset countryside. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. We dined in the Inn during the evening and both the food and service were exceptional. The same can be said of the Breakfast. 100% would stay again.
Location is super central, minutes walk from beach, town centre and marina. Room was clean, cozy and comfortable, breakfast (full English) good, view included a bit of sea! Staff were great. We just spent a night as part of a road trip to Dorset, so it was perfect for us. I particularly liked the dated interior of the hotel, I love old (but clean!) carpets and armchairs and window frames :) It felt authentic yet value for money.
-The cottage is very authentic, the interior decorations are very well adorned.
- The location is great. Next door is Thomas Hardy Birthplace. Weymouth, Dorchester, Durdle Door and so many attractions in Dorset are all within 20 minutes.
- The owner couple of the cottage are so kind, helpful, and friendly. They are serving traditonal breakfast in their charming dining room.
- The house is very clean.
Spacious accommodation with comfortable bed. Quiet peaceful location with lovely scenery Beautiful Garden with The River Piddle running at the bottom of it. Easy parking. Nice breakfast with good quality coffee. Owners are very friendly and came up with very enjoyable and interesting trip ideas. Easy to travel anywhere in Dorset. Bentley the dog. Plenty of books to read or browse through.
The location was amazing: in the middle of the Dorset countryside with most attractions within easy reach, on a lovey farm with sheep, ducks, horses and alpacas which the kids loved. The cottage was incredibly clean, cozy and well equipped whilst the underfloor heating was an absolute treat. Couldn’t recommend it enough!!
The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean.
The owners could not have been more welcoming and hospitable, going out if their way to do many extra things for us.The meals were excellent and nicely served. The Mitre Inn is a real find, and we would highly recommend it to anyone plannng a visit to this part of Dorset.
Sue and Paul were incredible hosts. They gave us great tips and shared local knowledge with us. The Pump Cottage is in a beautiful part of Dorset with countryside views all around and not far from Weymouth and Dorchester too. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast delicious. We would love to come back.
Location one street from the beach was great as a lot quieter. The hosts were superb- very helpful, informative, attentive, friendly and made a great breakfast.
Our room no 1 was good but bathroom a little small.
A great place to base ourselves when travelling around beautiful Dorset.
A terrific place to stay when in old Dorchester Dorset. This lovely little town is an excellent venue and the Westwood House is highly recommended. The husband wife team are very hard workers and take every measure necessary to ensure that their guest are content.
This is a beautiful and special place in the Dorset countryside. The family are warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. They did their utmost to make this a very special part of our visit to the UK.
Little Court is a great location when exploring Dorset, especially if you are interested in Thomas Hardy country. The accommodations are comfortable, food and service are excellent.
